I've collect...Looks like a perfect solution to me! I've collected many of Cheri's patterns but have yet to do one. Maybe this coming year! Anyway, I find the same is true of Jan Patek's large quilts. She presents a full diagram on how to set things together - with the measurements marked on each part. That catch is she never checks her math, and I've learned the hard way that she literally can't do arithmetic. I've learned to add up the measurements in the drawing to make sure the parts actually equal the whole - the strip sewed to a section for example. I think I've found mistakes in the math in every large quilt I've done. When I didn't discover this until the parts were done I did something like you've done - but hating it every minute. It would have been so easy for her to hand the pattern to someone else and say "check my math".<BR/><BR/>I just love seeing these on everyone's blog. I wanted to do this one so badly, but just couldn't justify spending the money.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125491177774966237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129049276793098387.post-56933196005532631032008-12-17T08:39:00.000-05:002008-12-17T08:39:00.000-05:00Thanks for your informative post--I will keep this...Thanks for your informative post--I will keep this in mind when I finally start the ABC quilt.
